How to use burger holder: Step 1. Wash Step 2 forget to bring into car Step 3 find it a year later and bring to car or forget what it is Step 4. leave in car and eat burgers without remembering it's there Step 5. Finally use it and forget to bring it out to wash. Now it has dried burger juice and your car smells like burger for days. Step 6. repeat
@@KalpeshPatel78 Your burger comes in paper or a box, just leave the juice drip into them. If you're worried about getting burger juice on your hands then you shouldn't be eating burgers.
Can you imagine being a person who says to themselves before setting out for the day, “Better grab my burger holder and sauce cup.” And then being the same person who gathers it up, takes it in, and washes it before doing it all over again.
And washes your hands afterwards with the soap slices. Actually, that's a really perfecr reason to have those if you have some water as well. Or just get inflatable towelette thing. Love those.
Yes! Not only from store to store but from day to day, and even shift to shift depending on who is making them. People who don't like them have only gone there when they were bad, which is understandable to think they are always bad. But man, once every 10 times or so, I gotta go back and get another order they are so good. I've even asked what day they change they oil (Most have said Thursday) because that's when they tend to be the best.

Ehh same thing will happen. If your burger is wide enough. Then you'll left with a third of a burger mess in the burger holder thay you either leave in there or try to fish out with your hands, dirtying it anyway
I have had my lock laces for over a year now. When you put them on your supposed to put them on with their a little snug, almost a little too snug. That way when they stretch out your shoes won't loosen. the people who said they didn't last long must have nots made them snug enough on their feet. Also if you will take the chip and stick them down under your other places near the tip of your foot, it looks a lot better.
I had a set and never cared for them. No matter how tight I made them then never stayed tight on my work boots. I was really disappointed. Maybe on a casual shoe. But I prefer my shoe tied firmly. And the stretch of these just wasn't for me
@@meegstomtom I'm like you I'd rather just tie my shoes, and double knot them, and when it comes to my non dress shoes, and boots, I tie them to the point with a double knot I can still slide my foot in/out but not have my feet slip out, and I rarely ever have to retie them.
@@meegstomtom I've never had a problem with that. Other people I know where them, and they were have a problem either. It could be the shoe, or something else. Yeah, I know how it feels to want to use a product, that just doesn't work for you.

@@charlesandrews2513 if you are someone like myself who keeps a small EDC sling backpack on them, I think they would do better as part of that since they are not being left in the car/truck all the time, plus since it's soap it's not as bad for you as a lot of the hand sanitizers are.
The "California prof 65" warning is on just about everything (including all natural hard wood boards!) The most dangerous part about that soap is the product getting into someone's airway.
For them to claim that "JOT" stands for "Just hold it" is a ridiculous stretch. "JHI" stands for "Just hold it". "JOT" does not; not by any stretch of the imagination. You're not alone in your use of back scratchers. I keep a bamboo one at my desk, one near my bed, two in my shop and one in my car. And I'm about to grab one right now... Ahh yeah; that's the spot!

I personally would like to hear more about what I'm assuming was a band flyer from the late 80's/early 90's that you showed off there! You got anything you can play for us?
Let's start a petition so James posts more about his band. Or at least what instrument he played. According to his LinkedIn, he majored in music so I assume he's good.
@@oscarmart1 Goo Gone is mostly orange oil, and depending on what your using it on it can damage paint in rare cases, but 95% of cases it's fine, long as you make sure to clean off the surface afterwards. I find WD-40 to stink, and leave an oily residue, 90% + IPA does not always cut it, and Acetone can actually melt some plastics. So for me it's IPA first, and if that does not cut it's Goo Gone if I know it's not going to damage the paint, and a thin rubber scrapper if needed, followed by an IPA wipe down to remove the Goo Gone.
ER nurse here. I bought the lock laces after your review. Every morning before my shift, my cat attacked my laces, I was concerned they wouldn’t hold up to how much walking (sometimes running) I do. They are GREAT! Thanks for your review!
Love these under $15 reviews!! To be fair, California doesn’t like anything... I love the travel soap product! Super handy and easy to carry! I have a lodge cast iron handle cover I use when I go camping, helps out so much.. Good job and thank you for my Sunday videos!!
I can't count how many "According to the state of California" yada yada warnings I've seen on products over the years, it seems like they want their citizens to live in fear of everything. 😂
@@CommodoreFan64 They say that because that's where they do a lot of product testing. Therefore they say in the State of California because it is possible (but not likely) that whatever safety issues a product had where actually caused by environmentally factors instead.
Man, do I got a story for yall. The other day I was at Dollar Tree, and I'm walking through the aisles. I get to the spices aisle, and I kid you not. The pepper rack had warnings that stated the State of California has found that pepper has ingredients in it that could be dangerous to your health. Pepper. Then people wonder why California is broke. 🤦♂️
I am Californian and it is some silly law we passed years ago. If ANYTHING at all in a product has any possibility of causing a health problem it has to be posted. If a store or location, again has anything, it's posted. It is so common it's ignored which defeats its purpose.
I look it up and decide if I want to ignore the warning or not. I like being given the chance to be an informed consumer instead of being forced to trust corporations and business interests.
The elastic laces are awesome. I've used them for years. I have pretty bad arthritis and there's days I'd never be able to tie laces. I had the same set on a pair of running shoes for 3 years and they're still in decent shape, while the shoes are trashed. My only issue was I couldn't re-lace a new pair of shoes with them because, once the ends are cut, they fray like crazy. So, new shoes needs new laces. Not a huge deal.
That burger holder and the snap lock shoe strings would be great for some senior citizens, like my dad who loved to go out before he passed a couple of months ago. The soap sheets might have also come in handy since I felt funny taking him to the men's room.
I bought a pot handle for my cast iron pots and I give it a 10 out of 10. It works great! I didn't leave it in the oven. I saw no need to leave it on in the oven.
I haven't actually tried THAT brand, but the soap leaves are a very good thing to have handy ( or at least I would find them so). I have allergies (aloe, fragrances, and detergents) that make it problematic to use the liquid soaps in most bathrooms when I'm out. It is necessary for me to have an alternative with me. If I can use them, these would be a nice alternative to my usual mini sanitizer on my keychain. I got some soap leaves as a promotional item from a pharmacy once, and they worked great...at least till I ran out.
I know that public bathroom soap struggle! My hands come out so red and itchy if I forget to bring hand sanitizer to use instead. I recently got a rash from using a table cloth a coworker had washed in what I didn't realize was a scented detergent, and the only soap available to wash it off was scented stuff! Hand sanitizer wasn't cutting it, so I just used an absurd amount of water and elbow grease. These soap sheets sound so helpful for our cases, especially if you can get them in decent quantities.
@@blaireshoe8738 you know that you CAN make your own, if you can use Ivory soap (I can). All you have to do is take a vegetable peeler and shave soap curls off of the side of the bar. But you need to find a rigid, airtight container to keep them in so they don't crumble, or get damp and stick together. That's been my hold up, finding a suitable container that fits in my purse. It has to be Ivory because other soaps are too hard, they crumble rather than shave curls. Though it might work with glycerin soap if you can use it, but I haven't tested that out.
@@juliebaker6969 I wonder if old floss containers are airtight enough for this purpose, I daresay some are big enough depending on the size of soap bits. Definitely purse sized then! I remember removing the spools of floss and small metal pieces as a kid, to store random small bits in. Some can be surprisingly roomy without even cutting anything.
@@blaireshoe8738 I'll have to try it. I DO know that an old Altoids tin isn't air tight enough. The best way to test a container out is to fill it with water and see if it leaks. Just be sure to dry it throughly before using it for soap though.
I think the extra lace hanging off the end looks goofy, and personally I feel would be annoying bouncing around. I just tie my laces slightly loose with a double knot, to where I can slide my feet in, and out, and I rarely ever have to tie them.
I have exact same back scratchers dotted around my house. I use them all the time! The soap sheets are wonderful. I got mine here in England from Ebay and I think I got a pack of 5 for a couple of quid (pounds) and they have been wonderful especially during these unusual times. Thanks for the reviews. Loved the under $15 theme. Great video as always!
Yep there will be a clone soon that shows up on Aliexpress, eBay, Wish, etc.. direct from China for a few bucks only made of cheaper plastic, but does the same job.
Love the lock laces. Ideal for folks with back problems for quick on/off of shoes without bending. I have one pair that have been on their respective shoes for over 6 years
I watch every single video you put out. But my nightly routine has been to put your videos on repeat and fall asleep to it. You have the best voice for sleeping to me and I have clinical insomnia. So you’re basically a miracle worker for me.
I have replaced shoelaces with 1/8" shock cord for years. Install the cord, adjusting as you go, tie it in a granny knot and bow, then tie the loops in a granny knot and pull snug. Done. You can take your shoes off and put them on just by pulling the tongue of the shoe upwards a bit, as the "laces" will stretch to allow that. Shock cord also come in a huge variety of colors!
I absolutely LOVE my lock laces. I use them on a pair of hellcat boombahs for competitive shooting and they are incredible. One tip for the tips that you cut, give them a little torch with a lighter so the end is hard and they hold in the tip clip nicely.
I got the Locklaces for a pair of my late mother's shoes. They were the same brand and style (different color) as two of her other pairs, and she had absolutely no trouble with their laces. But in that one pair, the left shoe would *not* stay tied! No matter what knot she (or I) tied, no matter what laces we used, the one shoe always untied. The Locklaces worked like a charm!
I mean if you think of the O as the top view of a coozie, holding a can or bottle, encompassing the essence of what it is to hold-- but really, it makes more sense to say that "Just hOlds It" is the tagline, not what it stands for. 🤣
That backscratcher he hung up with the JOT...I purchased one exactly like the one he had from Wish...& I LOVE IT!!!! In fact, I love it so much that I’ve bought several more to give as gifts!! When your back itches & you’re home alone, there’s nothing better to have to relieve the itch!!!
I've been buying lock laces from Chinese sellers on eBay, the past 10 years or more. I have them in just about every pair of footwear I own. I have no complaints. They're typically $1-2 for a pair on eBay :)
Lock laces are amazing. I had my dad use them. He was disabled and had a below the knee amputation on one leg, and one of his shoulders was so messed up that he hardly had any use of the arm. So whenever he needed to put his shoes on, he had to ask someone to tie them. The lock laces changed that. He was able to tighten them himself, and they worked just fine on a shoe that was on a prosthetic leg.
I have that sun glasses holder. I put it on a hook and a plastic bag on it and it’s now in my closet. That way they don’t get dusty and take up much space.
19:50 For removing mounting tape and adhesive pads, string is your best friend. Coil some string around your fingers kinda like dental floss, and use it to saw through the adhesive. Fishing line may be even better if you have some handy.
Jot seems like a nice idea. I’ve actually been making various item holders that work similarly out of two finishing nails side by side. Works really well for my tooth brush, never moves, dries easily, quick simple install, cost less than $.05. Thumbtacks would probably work as well. Only drawback is that it requires wood and makes a pair of little holes.
It’s a rainy day in NY, so I’m doing some projects in the house and rewatching some Freakin’ review videos. One thing I’ve learned today watching videos, when removing adhesive use a hair dryer to loosen it first. I know it may not be something you have in your house 😂😂. Love your videos. Keep them coming. ❤
Will the jots snap together if oriented perpendicular like if you wanted to stick one on the back of your phone and the other on a mirror can you snap them on and off without too much looseness? Also I think I would like to put three or four of those on the back of my phone when I'm baking to keep my phone up off the counter and use them like little legs so that I can still use the touch screen and it won't slide all over the place. I get my phone dirty sometimes when I'm baking :-). This was a fun review to watch thank you very much.
living up in the PNW i sometimes see all that sunshine & get a touch jealous. your summer vids with mention of the temps remind me that i am much happier with my nonstop grey winter skies since i would melt in 5 seconds in your summers.
In-n-Out fries are yum! Their burgers are good, but honestly... probably way overrated. Though, I honestly prefer Ralley's/Checkers when we had them in my area. Those fries were easily the best I've ever had.
Yeah checkers is way better, and it’s underrated so no mile-long drive-thru lines lol. In n out is very good though, especially for the price - hella cheap!
@Sans Handlebars There are some in SoCal. The one in my hometown closed and I'm sadly 40 between any north/south of me now ;-; Sad to see them vanishing... the aesthetic and double drive-thru (proper 2 windows, not the ones today) was really cool growing up.
I like my lock laces and use them on my motorcycle boots. Easy on; hold tight; easy off. You should tuck the ends *under* the lacing. More stylish! LOL For sunglasses holder, I use a piece of paracord (plenty of colors available to match any decor. A knotted loop is tied for each pair of sunglasses. The cord can be cut to a perfect length and hung up horizontal, vertical, or a funky diagonal. ;)
The laces kind of match your standard hiking shoes. I don't think I have ever seen a pair of Merrell shoes that didn't have that checked pattern. On a side note. I bought a pair of those for my Dad who is a diabetic and suffers from foot pain from swelling feet. He absolutely refused to try them, yet constantly complains about his shoes being too tight. FML.
Over my 39 years on the planet, and having taken care of elder family at various times since I was a kid, and for the past 16+ years having worked for a non profit dealing with seniors running a senior center, and meals on wheels for seniors, I can say with 100% confidence older generations can be stubborn AF!!! to the point it makes you want to pull your hair out, or put your fist through a wall!! My best advice in this case is to take his shoes when he's not wearing them, and just transplant the laces, then go here try this, I'm tried of hearing you complain.
In India 20 years back when we would travel, we would carry soap sheets. It's a amazing product that would come as a 10 sheet 3" booklet, and you kind of tear a soap page from it. It would cost like Rs 10- Rs 20. That's less than a dollar. The soap sheets reminded me of the good old days travelling with your family. It was always a must carry...with travelling in flights you don't prepare for long travel journey anymore....
#3... The sunglasses holder... I can see it now... You go to grab a pair and they ALL have an accumulation of dust that needs to be cleaned off before you can wear them... An attractive dust shield, that you can easily clean the dust off, would make it perfect.
Great video! One thing to consider with the soap sheets is that the last ingredient appears to be a paraben. I don't know much about them from a scientific perspective but if you look them up, you can see that they can disrupt hormones, fertility, and increase your risk for cancer. I'm sure using them in soap is less of a big deal than something like makeup which people wear for much longer than the soap is on your hands, but it's something to keep in mind. Additionally, there very well could be worse things on your hands than parabens.
I can personally vouch for those lock laces. Amazing stuff that is. I have used it on my shoes and on my 35 litre field pack as compression band. I also carry a pair of these everywhere I travel. Especially if I'm hiking or on a trek of some sort.
If you want a holder for fridge pens just get a little pencil cup from the locker decoration section of the back to school section, or look for one on amazon like that. I have one I bought for my college desk because it had a metal bar across the hutch, and ended up using it to hold sharpies for marking food in the communal fridge, as well as dry erase markers for my reminder board. Easy, not gimmicky, no off-brand adhesive to leave lasting damage.
Truly enjoy your reviews! Had to share -- to me, Lock Laces are a lifesaver!! Runners, walkers, and especially folks who have difficulty tying shoelaces - whether bending over or use of hands, etc. truly appreciate how easy it is to put on AND take off shoes. Never trip over an untied shoelace again! I agree with you - No, the look is certainly not for dress shoes! I now have them on all of my sneakers and I buy a new pair to match new shoes. FYI - Once I bought an "off-brand" -- they were NOT easy to use (pressing the button to loosen and tighten was very difficult versus the ease of Lock Laces). Also available in reflective!
The folks who think it is too soapy, they could cut them in half. I really like that product. I like the product you used with them also.... the way it expands. So cool. :)
James, you really do go above and beyond in your testing of products👍👍👍 you wouldn’t catch me out testing something in my car when it’s 117 friggin degrees!!🤬 you are the best reviewer on YT by far.
Love love love soap sheets! The ones I use aren’t Coleman but same concept. So many public restrooms don’t have a working or filled soap dispenser and there’s no point in washing your hands without soap.
For my fridge, I just got a strong magnet, tied one end of a string to a pencil, and glued the other end to the magnet. If you want, the metal ferrule can be held by the magnet so it doesn't swing around. Works for me
Dr. Comfort sneakers all come with the lick laves. The shoes even have a little pocket on the tongue of the shoe for you to tuck the lock mechanism into. I love them.
I started using Paracord locks on my sneakers. They work great with regular shoe laces. Until then, people kept stopping me to tell me my shoes were untied! As a woman, I like being able to change the color of the lock to match my clothes! And they're VERY inexpensive! Since using them, my shoes have never come loose!
The soap sheets can be bought from Miss A in Texas for $1 for 35 sheets IF you can find in stock; they sell out quickly. Must be a testament to their worth! I have the pan handle holder and I love it; works well and I’ve even left in the oven while on and it still doesn’t get hot! (I leave it on my cast iron pan). Sunglasses holder: I can see other uses it may be good for. Jots: 👍. Thanks!
I use the lock laces for my son because he has a hard time tying shoes due to some dexterity issues. We've used them for about 4 pair of shoes over the past few years and they work great.
I worked for a restaurant supply store in the late 80's and early 90's and we used to sell silicone pot handle covers just like those. They were blue and they were called "Cool Hand Lukes" and were a really popular product. I still have two I bought for home use (they came in two sizes) and they still work great after 30 years. Have never burned my hands.

Burger holder should have a pushable bottom so when you get to the bottom part of the burger you can push it up
That is a great idea.
I think a pop-out silicon doodad could be a better choice and you could just smoosh the burger out as you eat if you have to.

In n out pro tip: ask for them "extra crispy" or "well" and they will fry them for a minute longer. No more soggy fries.
Then they are crispy all the way through. Better, but still bad. Every other fast food joint double fries for good reason.
"Light-well" is my preferred In N Out fries order.
Lace lock was amazing for me when I worked at EPCOT. There were moments when stopping to tie my shoes could actually be dangerous so I loved them!
Why would tying your shoes be dangerous. What??
@@nowonmetube If positioned on a treadbelt, or if looking away can lead to the injury of a guest, it can be dangerous.
The cheap product reviews are awesome! Also, you are honest and don't exaggerate anything which is great! I love the constant positivity as well.
You must have a storage unit filled with unless items! But it keeps me entertained!
He has a “as seen on TV graveyard” in his garage. He has a couple videos showing it off :)
@@kmart625 The Boneyard, lol.
I was high when I first watched this and me and my buddy laughed for almost an hour about how funny it would be if the burger holder box was empty with just a note that said use your hands. We're pretty stupid haha
I personally would like to hear more about what I'm assuming was a band flyer from the late 80's/early 90's that you showed off there! You got anything you can play for us?
Let's start a petition so James posts more about his band. Or at least what instrument he played. According to his LinkedIn, he majored in music so I assume he's good.
I could have used the burger holder when I was on the road for a year. It looks stupid but so did I with sauce on my lap.
Lol good point
Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol can help remove sticky things.
DroneXFun I always use WD40
Goo gone is a bad idea, it can damage the paint
Acetone
@@oscarmart1 Goo Gone is mostly orange oil, and depending on what your using it on it can damage paint in rare cases, but 95% of cases it's fine, long as you make sure to clean off the surface afterwards. I find WD-40 to stink, and leave an oily residue, 90% + IPA does not always cut it, and Acetone can actually melt some plastics. So for me it's IPA first, and if that does not cut it's Goo Gone if I know it's not going to damage the paint, and a thin rubber scrapper if needed, followed by an IPA wipe down to remove the Goo Gone.
Denatured alcohol is best
ER nurse here. I bought the lock laces after your review. Every morning before my shift, my cat attacked my laces, I was concerned they wouldn’t hold up to how much walking (sometimes running) I do. They are GREAT! Thanks for your review!
Sunglasses holder: I hold 24 pairs of glasses.
Elton John: I could fit only one pair on the rack.
Love these under $15 reviews!!
To be fair, California doesn’t like anything...
I love the travel soap product! Super handy and easy to carry!
I have a lodge cast iron handle cover I use when I go camping, helps out so much..
Good job and thank you for my Sunday videos!!
I can't count how many "According to the state of California" yada yada warnings I've seen on products over the years, it seems like they want their citizens to live in fear of everything. 😂
@@CommodoreFan64 They say that because that's where they do a lot of product testing. Therefore they say in the State of California because it is possible (but not likely) that whatever safety issues a product had where actually caused by environmentally factors instead.
Man, do I got a story for yall. The other day I was at Dollar Tree, and I'm walking through the aisles. I get to the spices aisle, and I kid you not. The pepper rack had warnings that stated the State of California has found that pepper has ingredients in it that could be dangerous to your health. Pepper. Then people wonder why California is broke. 🤦♂️
I am Californian and it is some silly law we passed years ago. If ANYTHING at all in a product has any possibility of causing a health problem it has to be posted. If a store or location, again has anything, it's posted. It is so common it's ignored which defeats its purpose.
I look it up and decide if I want to ignore the warning or not. I like being given the chance to be an informed consumer instead of being forced to trust corporations and business interests.
The elastic laces are awesome. I've used them for years. I have pretty bad arthritis and there's days I'd never be able to tie laces. I had the same set on a pair of running shoes for 3 years and they're still in decent shape, while the shoes are trashed. My only issue was I couldn't re-lace a new pair of shoes with them because, once the ends are cut, they fray like crazy. So, new shoes needs new laces. Not a huge deal.
You a lighter to burn and seal it
That burger holder and the snap lock shoe strings would be great for some senior citizens, like my dad who loved to go out before he passed a couple of months ago. The soap sheets might have also come in handy since I felt funny taking him to the men's room.
I bought a pot handle for my cast iron pots and I give it a 10 out of 10. It works great! I didn't leave it in the oven. I saw no need to leave it on in the oven.
I haven't actually tried THAT brand, but the soap leaves are a very good thing to have handy ( or at least I would find them so). I have allergies (aloe, fragrances, and detergents) that make it problematic to use the liquid soaps in most bathrooms when I'm out. It is necessary for me to have an alternative with me. If I can use them, these would be a nice alternative to my usual mini sanitizer on my keychain. I got some soap leaves as a promotional item from a pharmacy once, and they worked great...at least till I ran out.
I know that public bathroom soap struggle! My hands come out so red and itchy if I forget to bring hand sanitizer to use instead. I recently got a rash from using a table cloth a coworker had washed in what I didn't realize was a scented detergent, and the only soap available to wash it off was scented stuff! Hand sanitizer wasn't cutting it, so I just used an absurd amount of water and elbow grease. These soap sheets sound so helpful for our cases, especially if you can get them in decent quantities.
@@blaireshoe8738 you know that you CAN make your own, if you can use Ivory soap (I can). All you have to do is take a vegetable peeler and shave soap curls off of the side of the bar.
But you need to find a rigid, airtight container to keep them in so they don't crumble, or get damp and stick together. That's been my hold up, finding a suitable container that fits in my purse.
It has to be Ivory because other soaps are too hard, they crumble rather than shave curls. Though it might work with glycerin soap if you can use it, but I haven't tested that out.
@@juliebaker6969 I wonder if old floss containers are airtight enough for this purpose, I daresay some are big enough depending on the size of soap bits. Definitely purse sized then! I remember removing the spools of floss and small metal pieces as a kid, to store random small bits in. Some can be surprisingly roomy without even cutting anything.
@@blaireshoe8738 I'll have to try it. I DO know that an old Altoids tin isn't air tight enough. The best way to test a container out is to fill it with water and see if it leaks. Just be sure to dry it throughly before using it for soap though.
@@juliebaker6969 Thanks for the tips!
I think the lock laces would look way better without that emblazoned logo on the lock. Way too loud. Stamped/molded would be better.
It can be solved with some sandpaper I bet.
I think the extra lace hanging off the end looks goofy, and personally I feel would be annoying bouncing around. I just tie my laces slightly loose with a double knot, to where I can slide my feet in, and out, and I rarely ever have to tie them.
@@CommodoreFan64 Can tuck the ends under the other laces.
I wonder if its marked on both sides? I can't remember. If not just flip it over.
That's what a sharpie pen is for
I have exact same back scratchers dotted around my house. I use them all the time! The soap sheets are wonderful. I got mine here in England from Ebay and I think I got a pack of 5 for a couple of quid (pounds) and they have been wonderful especially during these unusual times. Thanks for the reviews. Loved the under $15 theme. Great video as always!
Thanx for that I was wondering if we could get here 🙂
@@mandybranch7218 They aren't the brand James reviews but they are just as good.
Found 😁😁😁😁
Most of that gadgets look like they are easy to 3d print :D
I've used lock laces for years and I can safely say they're like the best shoelaces I've ever used I'm definitely a big fan of those
i think some company is going to copy the Burger Holder idea and make a version that cost $3 or $4
Yep there will be a clone soon that shows up on Aliexpress, eBay, Wish, etc.. direct from China for a few bucks only made of cheaper plastic, but does the same job.
I have a burger holder that’s free. It’s called my hands.
Love the lock laces. Ideal for folks with back problems for quick on/off of shoes without bending. I have one pair that have been on their respective shoes for over 6 years
I watch every single video you put out. But my nightly routine has been to put your videos on repeat and fall asleep to it. You have the best voice for sleeping to me and I have clinical insomnia. So you’re basically a miracle worker for me.
The wrapper the burger came in also works the same way ;)
He elaborated on it for like 30 seconds, and how other places have them come in boxes, or if you’re making a burger at home.
The paper burger holders have been dubbed a “burger DIAPER.” Lol
It makes me happy to see a product reviewer who actually keeps everything
I have replaced shoelaces with 1/8" shock cord for years. Install the cord, adjusting as you go, tie it in a granny knot and bow, then tie the loops in a granny knot and pull snug. Done. You can take your shoes off and put them on just by pulling the tongue of the shoe upwards a bit, as the "laces" will stretch to allow that. Shock cord also come in a huge variety of colors!
You should do more of these videos they are amazing!
I like the setup on this video, looks really clean.
I absolutely LOVE my lock laces. I use them on a pair of hellcat boombahs for competitive shooting and they are incredible. One tip for the tips that you cut, give them a little torch with a lighter so the end is hard and they hold in the tip clip nicely.
I got the Locklaces for a pair of my late mother's shoes. They were the same brand and style (different color) as two of her other pairs, and she had absolutely no trouble with their laces. But in that one pair, the left shoe would *not* stay tied! No matter what knot she (or I) tied, no matter what laces we used, the one shoe always untied. The Locklaces worked like a charm!
JOT stands for "just holds it"? Man, they're REALLY reaching for that one, eh?
I mean if you think of the O as the top view of a coozie, holding a can or bottle, encompassing the essence of what it is to hold-- but really, it makes more sense to say that "Just hOlds It" is the tagline, not what it stands for. 🤣
Loved these reviews but I need to hear more about those days when you had that hair, lol! Seriously, I wasn't expecting that.
That backscratcher he hung up with the JOT...I purchased one exactly like the one he had from Wish...& I LOVE IT!!!! In fact, I love it so much that I’ve bought several more to give as gifts!! When your back itches & you’re home alone, there’s nothing better to have to relieve the itch!!!
I've been buying lock laces from Chinese sellers on eBay, the past 10 years or more. I have them in just about every pair of footwear I own. I have no complaints. They're typically $1-2 for a pair on eBay :)
When he pulled the adhesive pad off I could've sworn that it'd taken a chip of the fridge with it... And it turned out to only be glue
I could be wrong, but it seems like some of the texture of the fridge was pulled up, and it left the surface a bit more shinny.
when James wears his v-neck he immediately turns into a surgeon
Lock laces are amazing. I had my dad use them. He was disabled and had a below the knee amputation on one leg, and one of his shoulders was so messed up that he hardly had any use of the arm. So whenever he needed to put his shoes on, he had to ask someone to tie them. The lock laces changed that. He was able to tighten them himself, and they worked just fine on a shoe that was on a prosthetic leg.
I have that sun glasses holder. I put it on a hook and a plastic bag on it and it’s now in my closet. That way they don’t get dusty and take up much space.
7:22 That's what she said
19:50 For removing mounting tape and adhesive pads, string is your best friend. Coil some string around your fingers kinda like dental floss, and use it to saw through the adhesive. Fishing line may be even better if you have some handy.
Naahh, I rather just use hair spray instead of the adhesive. Much easier, cheaper and no mess to clean!
Jot seems like a nice idea. I’ve actually been making various item holders that work similarly out of two finishing nails side by side. Works really well for my tooth brush, never moves, dries easily, quick simple install, cost less than $.05. Thumbtacks would probably work as well. Only drawback is that it requires wood and makes a pair of little holes.
It’s a rainy day in NY, so I’m doing some projects in the house and rewatching some Freakin’ review videos. One thing I’ve learned today watching videos, when removing adhesive use a hair dryer to loosen it first. I know it may not be something you have in your house 😂😂. Love your videos. Keep them coming. ❤
Will the jots snap together if oriented perpendicular like if you wanted to stick one on the back of your phone and the other on a mirror can you snap them on and off without too much looseness? Also I think I would like to put three or four of those on the back of my phone when I'm baking to keep my phone up off the counter and use them like little legs so that I can still use the touch screen and it won't slide all over the place. I get my phone dirty sometimes when I'm baking :-). This was a fun review to watch thank you very much.
Ok, I just want to know the poster story since I graduated high school in 1981.
I was born in '81!
I graduated in 1981 also, in Texas. Maybe we know each other? LOL.
living up in the PNW i sometimes see all that sunshine & get a touch jealous. your summer vids with mention of the temps remind me that i am much happier with my nonstop grey winter skies since i would melt in 5 seconds in your summers.
Love the Mandelbrot map, might get one to spruce up my dorm 😃 great taste!!
In-n-Out fries are yum! Their burgers are good, but honestly... probably way overrated.
Though, I honestly prefer Ralley's/Checkers when we had them in my area. Those fries were easily the best I've ever had.
I haven't been to Checkers/Ralley's in a while. It's probably time to re-visit!
Yeah checkers is way better, and it’s underrated so no mile-long drive-thru lines lol. In n out is very good though, especially for the price - hella cheap!
@Sans Handlebars There are some in SoCal. The one in my hometown closed and I'm sadly 40 between any north/south of me now ;-; Sad to see them vanishing... the aesthetic and double drive-thru (proper 2 windows, not the ones today) was really cool growing up.
@Sans Handlebars There is still Rally's in San Diego. About 6 of them, actually.
@@sfmc98 There are a small handful yea, used to be more though.
Everything reviewed in this video I got for free as long as I left a 5 star review! Never trust amazon reviews
That's why I test them out.
I like my lock laces and use them on my motorcycle boots. Easy on; hold tight; easy off. You should tuck the ends *under* the lacing. More stylish! LOL
For sunglasses holder, I use a piece of paracord (plenty of colors available to match any decor. A knotted loop is tied for each pair of sunglasses. The cord can be cut to a perfect length and hung up horizontal, vertical, or a funky diagonal. ;)
My aunt bought a few of those pot handle covers and left them on her cast iron skillets. Worked very well.
The laces kind of match your standard hiking shoes. I don't think I have ever seen a pair of Merrell shoes that didn't have that checked pattern. On a side note. I bought a pair of those for my Dad who is a diabetic and suffers from foot pain from swelling feet. He absolutely refused to try them, yet constantly complains about his shoes being too tight. FML.
Over my 39 years on the planet, and having taken care of elder family at various times since I was a kid, and for the past 16+ years having worked for a non profit dealing with seniors running a senior center, and meals on wheels for seniors, I can say with 100% confidence older generations can be stubborn AF!!! to the point it makes you want to pull your hair out, or put your fist through a wall!! My best advice in this case is to take his shoes when he's not wearing them, and just transplant the laces, then go here try this, I'm tried of hearing you complain.
@@CommodoreFan64 I'm going to do just that. The nice thing is that these can be tied and look like normal laces if you don't use the lock and clamp.
@@JD-tl7ld I hope you did.
Why wouldn’t I just bring a bowl from home if I cared so much?
In India 20 years back when we would travel, we would carry soap sheets. It's a amazing product that would come as a 10 sheet 3" booklet, and you kind of tear a soap page from it. It would cost like Rs 10- Rs 20. That's less than a dollar. The soap sheets reminded me of the good old days travelling with your family. It was always a must carry...with travelling in flights you don't prepare for long travel journey anymore....
Karnivool "Simple Boy" on the car radio. A man with good taste.
I cant help but be a little turned on by the jot footage lol
My first thought is there’s no way I wouldn’t draw nipples on that jot lol.
I thought the jot looked like boobs 😂
i dont think I've ever been this early!
Welcome to the early show!
#3... The sunglasses holder... I can see it now... You go to grab a pair and they ALL have an accumulation of dust that needs to be cleaned off before you can wear them... An attractive dust shield, that you can easily clean the dust off, would make it perfect.
Great video!
One thing to consider with the soap sheets is that the last ingredient appears to be a paraben. I don't know much about them from a scientific perspective but if you look them up, you can see that they can disrupt hormones, fertility, and increase your risk for cancer. I'm sure using them in soap is less of a big deal than something like makeup which people wear for much longer than the soap is on your hands, but it's something to keep in mind.
Additionally, there very well could be worse things on your hands than parabens.
If one needs a “holder” to eat a burger then maybe they shouldn’t be eating a burger. 🤦🏻♂️
I was gonna get mom one. Arthritis in her hands
15:43 It is really setting off my OCD, all those glasses should be turned the same way. Please fix it. 😏
GMO! My CDO is triggered by abbreviations not in alphabetical order. Please fix it. 😏
I can personally vouch for those lock laces. Amazing stuff that is. I have used it on my shoes and on my 35 litre field pack as compression band. I also carry a pair of these everywhere I travel. Especially if I'm hiking or on a trek of some sort.
If you want a holder for fridge pens just get a little pencil cup from the locker decoration section of the back to school section, or look for one on amazon like that. I have one I bought for my college desk because it had a metal bar across the hutch, and ended up using it to hold sharpies for marking food in the communal fridge, as well as dry erase markers for my reminder board. Easy, not gimmicky, no off-brand adhesive to leave lasting damage.
Truly enjoy your reviews! Had to share -- to me, Lock Laces are a lifesaver!! Runners, walkers, and especially folks who have difficulty tying shoelaces - whether bending over or use of hands, etc. truly appreciate how easy it is to put on AND take off shoes. Never trip over an untied shoelace again! I agree with you - No, the look is certainly not for dress shoes! I now have them on all of my sneakers and I buy a new pair to match new shoes. FYI - Once I bought an "off-brand" -- they were NOT easy to use (pressing the button to loosen and tighten was very difficult versus the ease of Lock Laces). Also available in reflective!
The folks who think it is too soapy, they could cut them in half. I really like that product. I like the product you used with them also.... the way it expands. So cool. :)
James, you really do go above and beyond in your testing of products👍👍👍 you wouldn’t catch me out testing something in my car when it’s 117 friggin degrees!!🤬 you are the best reviewer on YT by far.
Love love love soap sheets! The ones I use aren’t Coleman but same concept. So many public restrooms don’t have a working or filled soap dispenser and there’s no point in washing your hands without soap.
For my fridge, I just got a strong magnet, tied one end of a string to a pencil, and glued the other end to the magnet. If you want, the metal ferrule can be held by the magnet so it doesn't swing around. Works for me
You said Jot & I instantly thought of the Sunday morning cartoon that came on after Davy & Goliath ! And Jot looks like the best item of the day.
Dr. Comfort sneakers all come with the lick laves. The shoes even have a little pocket on the tongue of the shoe for you to tuck the lock mechanism into. I love them.
The soap might work better with warm/hot water. Love your video's, Thank You!!
I started using Paracord locks on my sneakers. They work great with regular shoe laces. Until then, people kept stopping me to tell me my shoes were untied! As a woman, I like being able to change the color of the lock to match my clothes! And they're VERY inexpensive! Since using them, my shoes have never come loose!
the end was entertaining. I mean i like watching for the reviews, but i enjoy when you get a chance to have some fun and share your own story.
The soap sheets can be bought from Miss A in Texas for $1 for 35 sheets IF you can find in stock; they sell out quickly. Must be a testament to their worth! I have the pan handle holder and I love it; works well and I’ve even left in the oven while on and it still doesn’t get hot! (I leave it on my cast iron pan). Sunglasses holder: I can see other uses it may be good for. Jots: 👍. Thanks!
My dude listening to Karnivool, mad respect. Great choice of music!
Really appreciate the temp translation. So all usual measurement users can instantly know without needing to visit a converter site.
the elastic laces are a good fit for 'any' laced shoe for people with mobility issues. we don't usually choose fashion over function or safety.
I was most impressed with the slate finish on the fridge door. 😎
I use the lock laces for my son because he has a hard time tying shoes due to some dexterity issues. We've used them for about 4 pair of shoes over the past few years and they work great.
I worked for a restaurant supply store in the late 80's and early 90's and we used to sell silicone pot handle covers just like those. They were blue and they were called "Cool Hand Lukes" and were a really popular product. I still have two I bought for home use (they came in two sizes) and they still work great after 30 years. Have never burned my hands.
Dude, I thought the Jott was dumb until you hung up a backscratcher, I use that exact same one! Brilliant!
2:40 I know right?! In-N-Out fries are my absolute favorite fast food fries.
Oh! You're eating In & Out right in front of me! I love the fries and chocolate shakes too.
I walked into an In & Out once. The smell of onions almost knocked me out, and I followed the directions on the sign. In and Out.
